September 21st, Evening.

Emi's room is full, all three of her roommates accounted for, and all tending to their own matters. They treat her differently, ever since she returned. The speak to her more softly, and treat her more gently, like she might break if they raise their voices above a whisper. The room is too quiet at first, leaving Emi alone with her thoughts, which is a frightening place these days.

Brenda idly scrolls on her tablet while Elsa tinkers with a game system. Elsa occasionally shoots Emi a quick glance before retreating back to her game, like she has something she wants to say but just can't bring herself to say it.

Ashley drops her textbook down suddenly and jumps up, throwing herself down on Emi's bed next to her. She smiled down at her. "Hey, Em. How's it going?" she taps Emi on the hand gently. "Y'know, I don't think it's been said enough, but I'm really glad that you came back to us." She smiled at her, but before things got too serious, she added. "Because, really, you're SO the best roommate. Without you I'd just be stuck with so-series Brenda and leave-me-to-my-Pokémans Elsa." She laughed at her own joke, hoping that Emi would follow her.

Elsa squealed a "Hey!" at the comment, looking up from her game with a not-so-serious glare, while Brenda just casted her eyes downwards at Ashley, saying nothing.
